Unproductive day ahoy!  I seemed to gain no ground today at work and spent a fair amount of time struggling to figure out the riggers of Microsoft’s worst operating system, “Windows ME.”  About forty-five minutes before lunch an email popped in my Yahoo from Activestate saying I qualified for their Komodo 5 IDE beta !! =) .  I installed it and played around with the features for awhile before remembering how much stuff I need to get done.  After getting knocked off course a couple more times by normal, random user calls I made the executive decision to go ahead and leave at my “scheduled time” of 4pm, which I hardly ever do.

When I got home I did the exercise bike for awhile to get the heart pumping and then did some bench pressing.  I need to start incorporating some more core strength training into my workout plan, going to work on that tonight and make a schedule I can stick to.  I have also been tinkering with the idea of tweaking my running schedule.  I am thinking about doing some light distance running on my off days.  On Friday I want to do leg strength training again, and I’m thinking before I do that I’ll do two miles and see how that goes.

Read about twenty pages in my C++ book today.  I was to afraid to see, but it feels like I’m about half way though chapter five.  I am excited to get on to chapters that make me feel like I am once again learning helpful material =) .  While I have been talking here and there about C++ I haven’t really said much about the core language that I do know, PHP.  My hope is to have some pages up on that soon!
